Fearing Fear Itself
By PAUL KRUGMAN
In America’s darkest hour, Franklin Delano Roosevelt urged the nation not to succumb to “nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror.” But that was then.
Today, many of the men who hope to be the next president — including all of the candidates with a significant chance of receiving the Republican nomination — have made unreasoning, unjustified terror the centerpiece of their campaigns.
Consider, for a moment, the implications of the fact that Rudy Giuliani is taking foreign policy advice from Norman Podhoretz, who wants us to start bombing Iran “as soon as it is logistically possible.”
Mr. Podhoretz, the editor of Commentary and a founding neoconservative, tells us that Iran is the “main center of the Islamofascist ideology against which we have been fighting since 9/11.” The Islamofascists, he tells us, are well on their way toward creating a world “shaped by their will and tailored to their wishes.” Indeed, “Already, some observers are warning that by the end of the 21st century the whole of Europe will be transformed into a place to which they give the name Eurabia.”
Do I have to point out that none of this makes a bit of sense?"

Krugman, as is usual, covers all the bases. In this very short article you will find ALL the information you will require to rebut ANY argument put forward by the Neo-KOOKS for bombing Iran in the foreseeable future. If you you see any Democratic candidate, or indeed anyone at all who has 'caved' on the Neo-KOOK onslaught, step in and in 2 minutes or less you will have stoppe the thing cold in its tracks. There simply does not exist a credible rebuttal to what Krugman has to say in the article.
